Other Course Descriptions:

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK, EVER
(a/k/a The New Testament)

The course covers the essentials in the four Gospels and the history and exposition in the Book of Acts. The epistolary ministries of Peter, James, John, and Paul are presented in the context of Lutheran deacons’ contemporary responsibility for Ministry of the Word. Practical exercises are included to sharpen ministry skills. The course concludes with a nontechnical ex-amination of the Book of Revelation with emphasis on practical application. [Full disclosure: This course is not for sissies or those seeking to be entertained.]

THE BOOK YOU ALWAYS MEANT TO READ  - The Old Testament  

Reinvigorate your faith as you discover the Old Testament roots of Christianity. Learn about intimacies with God (in Psalms) and recommended ways for dealing with others in the first ever psychology book (Proverbs). Understand what St. Paul really meant when he constantly referred to "The Law" by studying what the law actually said. Be awed by God's plan as you read details of Messianic prophecy later fulfilled. Finish the course with a new confidence that you now know the essential parts of the Old Testament. [Full Disclosure: This course is not for slackers or those merely seeking entertainment.]
